Southern Indiana Football Players of the Week – Week 4

Southern Indiana fans, you showed out in a big way last week. Our Week 3 poll smashed records with over 215,000 votes, making it the most-voted poll in SISN history. When the dust settled, Scottsburg’s own Garrett Boling walked away as the top player of the week.

Now, Week 4 is here and the energy is just as high. Scottsburg is back in the spotlight with another nominee, giving them a shot at two straight wins and the chance to break another SISN record.

The stage is set, and the nominees are ready. Can Southern Indiana fans rally again and top last week’s vote total? It’s time to meet the players who lit up the field under those Friday night lights.

Only players from winning teams are included in the poll. Stats are pulled directly from MaxPreps, so if numbers are not entered there, they are not listed here. We do not currently have player photos, but if you do, please send them our way. Fans may vote as many times as they’d like.


Peyton Gray — Wide Receiver/Defensive Back, Heritage Hills, Senior

Heritage Hills shut out Southridge 45–0, and Gray played a major role on both sides of the ball. He hauled in 6 catches for 114 yards and 2 touchdowns to spark the Patriot offense, then sealed the defensive effort with an interception.

Anderson Aiman — Wide Receiver/Defensive End, North Daviess, Senior

In North Daviess’ 48–0 rout of Pike Central, Aiman showed why he’s one of the region’s most versatile players. He caught 4 passes for 105 yards and 3 touchdowns, returned a fumble for another score, and dominated defensively with 12 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

Duncan Combs — Quarterback, Bloomington South, Junior

Dane Padgett — Running Back/Linebacker, Paoli, Senior

Dane Padget of the Paoli Rams, was an Southern Indiana Player of the Week back in 2023.
